Russell Westbrook, Keon Ellis, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud will start Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.
Already without Zach LaVine, the Kings won’t have Keegan Murray for Saturday’s game, either. As a result, Ellis enters the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. While most valuable for what he can do defensively, Ellis will have more opportunities to contribute offensively. Some fantasy managers will also hope that this means Malik Monk will take on a more prominent role off the bench.
